What color is Dulux Green Parrot 3?
Dulux Green Parrot 3 50GY 69/306 is a light, fresh green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it bright rather than minty. Its pale depth makes it well suited to larger wall areas in kitchens, garden rooms, children’s spaces, or hallways that need a lift without the sharpness of a stronger lime green. In daylight, Green Parrot 3 reads as a clean leaf green, while warmer evening lighting can draw out its softer yellow undertone. Pair it with chalky white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibres, and muted clay or terracotta accessories for a grounded contrast. It can also make a cheerful choice for painted cabinetry or a small exterior detail where a clear, light green is wanted.
